If they had been caught, dark lantern

hundreds of poor men and women of
their all. The bank examiner and gov
eminent officials were none too vigilant,
or the robbery might have been
checked, il not wholly prevented. Two
months ago the comptroller of the cur
rency had his suspicious aroused. The
reputation of the president, Harper,
was none of the best. He had left an
old establishment to set up this one
because the other was ..too conserva-

director was forced to resign because

suspicious of the government officials,
but forced them to prompt and even
action. For all this time
the bank was being robbed.

producing a pleasing landscape effect
that can be produced in no other way,
the plantin. OF evergreen trees affords
a protection from cold winds in win
ter to the dwelling and outbuildings.
Spruce, FIR and arbor vitae trees are
free growers, and if set when quite
small, the act will be more likely to be
attended with success than if the trees
are larger. The protection which they
afford to orchards even produces ex-
cellent results. Where, for effect, a
circular enclosure was formed of arbor
vitae surrounding a pear tree, the size
of the fruit and productiveness of the
trees as compared with others outside
were marked. The same was true of
trees set in the row with the ever
greens, showing conclusively the favor
able influences exerted by them.

The festive railroad brigand is again
abroad in the land. The latest and
greatest exploit of these gentlemen OF
..stand and deliver proclivities took
place in breezy Texas-the third in
hat state within a month. The long
{ haul was made in the Pullman
aches, the passengers being re-
quested to ope their sleeping eyes by
not too gentle taps on their pates with
revolver butts. The most d%iscouraging
feature of this robbery business is that
il is apparently impossible to suggest a
remedy. Passenger revenues will most
assuredly sink out of sight if the rail-
way companies are forced to carry a
garrison with every train. Still it
might be well to arm the train men
effectually and publish u few graphic
instructions for the benefit of the I'M
fortunate traveller. 1t really is a mat
ter for the state to handle, but as the
state, as appears, is impotent, who will
take hold of the Diatter if the RAILWAYS
